REVIEW: The Great American Snuff Film
| The Great American Snuff Film I have been reviewing some really nasty movies lately, and by nasty I mean all were women being tortured and raped except “I Spit On Your Corpse I Piss On Your Grave†which actually had actress Emily Haak doing the raping. “The Great American Snuff Film†isn’t too much different with “William Groneâ€, a serial killer who with the help of his partner “Roy†kidnap two girls with the intentions of making a snuff film over a period of two days but ends up going on for almost a week. “William†is a cold hearted woman hater whose anger stems from being abandoned by his whore mother. He enjoys inflicting pain on others and gets off on their facial expressions, the pleading, and how they struggle as he tortures and beats them. He shoots his footage on a 8 mm camera because he says it makes the horrible images more pure. “Grone†is very excited to start on the girls but says he must make himself make so the climax will be better.
I expected a lot more out of this movie since it was a “Brain Damage†film and I love them. It just seemed that the time was dragging along at certain points. Then of course comes the debate on the last 2 minutes of film…is it real or isn’t it? Supposively this footage is the actual footage of “William Grone†taunting then shooting his female victim in the head. I haven’t a clue but most people say it’s just a ploy to get the public to buy into this film that’s telling the story thru the diaries of this madman. I’ll admit watching the girls fall in and out of consciousness from the drugs he was injecting them with were very well played out scenes. I liked that it was opening up and telling you all the evil thoughts that were put to paper, this cold blooded calculated killer would go to work and then be back later to finish where he had left off. This is by no means a bad film, it positively had a real feel to it. Knowing that these two men had no remorse for one ounce of torment they inflicted was truly sickening!
